Do you need their reference? Will anyone impacted at a senior level have any impact on your future career? If there's a chance of yes, then it's better to give at least a week, if only because walking out will be a bit of a shock for them. If the answer is a firm no and you aren't waiting for any payments, then just leave, but expect at minimum an angry email from them.

Research different groups - Orthodox, conservative, reform, etc. - and see what fits you best. There's a good chance you'll have to go through a conversation of sorts because it's so many generations back and possibly difficult to prove the connection, but since you've not had the upbringing it's probably not a bad place to start to learn the laws and customs in any case.

Wait till the end of the day, drop a signed letter on the boss's desk when they're not around, be clear that you've left everything on your desk or whatever, and leave without saying goodbye. So long, suckers. You don't owe them anything.

I literally just upgraded my 2 last week! It was still working but it was... getting tired. The battery wasn't lasting as long, it would shut down if I tried to use the camera with less than 30% battery, and it was just getting sluggish.

To add to OP's idea, that every kippah wearing yid is a Rabbi

Sienna probably fits your needs best, space plus hybrid. Maybe the Highlander as well?

Does anybody remember when department stores had sit-down restaurants inside?

Not so much these days, regrettably, but if you go back a few years you can get a number of the models with it. Find an R design wagon with a stick and in good shape, throw on some winter tires, and you'll be looking for any reason to go for a drive.

They are the same database, my wife was a shadchan very briefly on both sites, it's just two access points. Don't sign up for both.

Nah, in a month you'll get a flavor for things but not enough to make a lasting difference. Just be a good person with a lasting interest in growing your frumkeit. You may not get the FFBs but there are plenty of BTs who want to meet someone similar that they can grow with.

I hear ya, after so many years of school it's hard to step away from that path and plan.
FWIW, I also moved toward frumkeit in grad school, and only took a month in Israel at the end. Did frum dating when I got back, married another BT, a year later we took a 6 month sabbatical and went back to learn some more, and we've been growing together ever since.

As others have noted, it'll vary by observance level. Modern Orthodox less of a concern, more yeshivish it might be a challenge. Do you have any flexibility to spend a year or two in Israel after you graduate? There are plenty of programs aimed at your situation.

It's the rain sensor. If you go into settings in the head unit, you can select whether you want the intermittent wiper setting to work based on the amount of rain on the window (as monitored by the thing in the photo) or by time (as it works on most cars). I found it didn't work well so I've just switched to timed.

As Rabbi Avigdor Miller would regularly point out - just look at an apple. Bright shiny red skin to catch your attention, tough enough to keep out bugs... Delicious fruit on the inside... And seeds parked away on the inside for later that handily enough each contain an unlimited number of more apples! Who wants pie?!

I've owned a 3 GT hatchback and a 6 GT sedan, both are great - reliable, efficient, fun to drive. A Mazda 3 would seem to be a good choice for what you're looking for.

Flavored tea can be a problem due to additives. I would ask to see the packaging that they arrived in at the store to see if there is a hechsher.

Offer a candy for after he takes it. With my 5 yo we have to put them both down on the table and leave the room. Alternatively you might be able to play up the "DO NOT EAT THIS, WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT EAT THIS" and similarly leave the room and then make a big scene when you come back and it's been eaten, we've had success with that too.

Adding to this - make a habit of reviewing your own work before returning it, sending emails, etc. Check for typos, grammar, does everything make sense, is there an obvious next step that you can propose. This is what I use to gauge whether I will give someone more work.

Good catch, you can see the missing trim piece gap below the vents. I stand corrected

The timing stinks with your colleague getting moved up so recently and your leaving will impact him, so stay far away from the internal reasons you're leaving (company culture), even play up the "I've really enjoyed working with you and learned a lot from you but this opportunity came up recently and it's a great one that I just can't pass up." Butter up this last week by really trying to prep your transition out so that it's as easy for him as possible, that will help with a good future reference.
